June 20, 2008
HIGIT pa sa P15 milyon ang kapalit ng kalayaan ng ABS-CBN senior correspondent na si Ces Drilon at dalawang cameramen na sina Jimmy Encarnacion at Angelo Valderama.
Matutumbasan ba ng gaano kalaking halaga na makita sina Ina Reformina ng ABS-CBN-2 at Raffy Tima ng GMA-7 na “magkahawak-kamay” sa coverage na iisa ang layunin, ang kalayaan ng mga kapatid sa hanapbuhay?
Mapipresyuhan ba ang news footage na ipinahiram ng ABS-CBN sa GMA news at sa kapatid nitong Q-11? Paano tutumbasan ng salapi ang sympathetic na tono ng GMA-7 sa pagbibigay ng balita tungkol sa nakidnap na news team ng ABS-CBN?

Ces Drilon and crew reunited with families
June 18, 2008
Two Philippine journalists were reunited with their families on Wednesday after a nine-day kidnap ordeal by Islamic militants who threatened to decapitate them.
Looking wane and covered in mosquito bites, Ces Drilon, one of the country’s best-known TV reporters, said she regretted venturing into the jungles of Jolo island, the base of the notorious Abu Sayyaf group, looking to interview militants.
“We came close to losing our lives,” she told reporters. “I thought I was so reckless, I didn’t think of my family.”
Drilon said her captors, who she referred to as bandits, were prepared at one point to behead her two cameramen. They were all released unharmed.
“We were treated well, in a perverse kind of way,” she said.
